I love political thrillers and I especially love it when they're queer, but I can't read about one of the main characters being a Republican. I'm just not that guy.

I couldn't invest in the characters even if the smut was written to my taste. 🥲

The sex scenes were too ... fake? Scripted? Obviously written fictional sex is going to vary from irl sex in to play up the fantasy elements but this was just not my taste at all. I also did not like Morgan.

You expect me to read a whole book about this guy as the MC? No thanks.

These characters were 2 dimensional in a way that I didn't vibe with. Nothing to keep my attention.

Just didn't vibe with it. I didn't think there was anything wrong, I was just not feeling a connection. 

I liked Melody fine, but Liam is insufferable. I can't stand MCs with such heavily ingrained misogyny.

This is a lot and I don't think I can handle their mental illnesses with my own right now. 💀

I wanted to like this one, but Clay was too scattered and Tae was too closed off for me to enjoy their interactions - even when I cast Lee Dong Wook as Tae in my head. Also, I just don't vibe with sunshine characters as the MC - that one's a personal preference, not me casting aspersions on the writing.

I didn't like the characters enough to continue the weird little game of cat and mouse. I like it when both parties are the aggressors.
